THE WORLD OVER

JUMP FROM HIGH LEVEL BRIDGE

ITALY SAYS ETHIOPIA AGRESSOR

EGMONT MAY TAKE LORDS SEAT

WEEK'S WHEAT DEVELOPMENTS

LT

EDMONTON—Clutching a baby to
her breast, a woman about 24 years
old leaped to her death from the high
level bridge over the Saskatchewan
River, into the waters 160 feet below,
last Thursday evening. At a late hour
on Friday neither the baby—about a
year and a half old—or the woman,
had been received.

A note in the woman’s purse was
signed by “M. Card” presumably the
name of the river victim.

One eye witness driving across the
bridge, saw the woman jump from the
east side of the bridge.

ROME—Italians seized upon Ethio-
Pia’s forthcoming call to arms as the
proof Emperor Haile Selassie, not 11
Duce, is the “aggressor.”

Selassie’s warning to the League of
Nations that he may soon be forced
to order a general mobilization over-
shadowed mingled joy and anger at
news of the British note to France, re-
asserting Britain's adherence to steady
and collective resistance to all acts of
unprovoked aggression,

Italy believed the call to arms would
put at least 1000,000 armed Ethiopians
on the march, or four times as many
men as there are Italian soldiers in
East Africa.

The Earl of Egmont, Priddis farmer,
intends to visit England this winter—
perhaps as soon as the harvest is over.

Some day, he recently told a London
newspaperman, he may settle down
in England and take his seat in the
House of Lords—but not yet.

The interviewer confessed surprise,
since Lord Fgmont is understood to be
well to do, to find him working as a
farm laborer and being paid for it.
However, the earl explained, “I'd
doing this than sitting at
home reading, but boy don’t think I’m
doing it for nothing. I'm getting paid
all right—as I should tbe. I get a dol-
lar an acre.”

The World In Danger

As week succeeds week

the possibilities of war between Italy and
Ethiopia grow nearer to certitude and the situation becomes fraught with
alarming menace, not merely to the two countries involved but to other
countries and possibly the whole civilized world.

With the Italian representatives rejecting, one after another, proposals |

which are being made almost daily by commi‘ttees of the League of Nations
and interested powers in the hope of averting an outbreak of hostilities,
and Emperor Haile Sellassie refusing to accept any compromise which
would result in the surrender of the independence of his kingdom, the situa-
tion becomes more and more gloomy, and the gloom deepens with the active
preparations which are being prcsecuted by Mussolini and the belligerence
with which he is whipping his countrymen into a warlike attitude.

of the leading nations of the world and international
authorities appear to be in complete accord with the general consensus of
world opinion that such a conflict would not be confined to Italy and
Ethiopia, but that other nations would be dragged into the fray and that it
is even likely to lead to a general conflagration which would result in misery
and suffering to mill'ons and loss of life and property on an even greater
scale than the Great War of 1914-18. |

Statesmen

Indeed, there are authorities who see in the present situation a potential
destruction of civilization itself. This view is supported by the Committee
on International Law of the Canadian Bar Association, which in a report
to the Canadian Bar Association convention in Winnipeg recently spoke of
“the consequences to the world and Canada of an actual resort to arms” as
probably “catastrophic in the sense that it may include the destruction or |
profound modification of many of the institutions upon which civilization
is based.”

Again in the same report, the committee dealt with the conduct of Italy
as indicating that government's unwillingness to accept decisions of the
Council of the League of Nations, of which she is a member, in the follow-
ing words: |

“If that attitude persists the world may be faced with a complete break-
down of the system of public international order which was supposed to
have been permanently established by the sacrifices of the years 1914 to 1918.

“The question is whether or not the peoples of the world will permit
this by failure to agree on united action or whether, by united action, they
will, as they undoubtedly can, insist upon the observance of the public law
upon which the continuance of our present civilization may depend.”

The statement that the peoples of the world can avoid this catastrophe
by united action refers to the powers which the member countries of the
League vested in themselves when they approved Article 16 of the cove-
nants, to which all members have subscribed, agreeing to impose financial
and economic sanctions as a punitive measure against any member who
breaks the covenants and commits an act of aggression against any other
country.

In view of the menace of the situation the importance of these powers

become paramount. They are contained in the first and third paragraphs
of Article 16 and read as follows: |

“1, Should any Member of the League resort to war in disregard
of its covenants under Articles 12, 13 and 15, it shall, ipso facto, be
deemed to have committed an act of war against all other members of
the League, which hereby undertake immediately to subject it to the
severance of all trade relations, the prohibition of all intercourse be-
tween their nationals and nationals of the covenant-breaking State, and
the prevention of all financial, commercial or personal intercourse be-
tween the nationals of the covenant-breaking State and the nationals
of any other State, whether a Member of the League or not.”

“3. The Members of the League agree, further, that they will
mutually support one another in the financial and economic measures
which are taken under this Article, in order to minimise the los¢ and
imconvenience resulting from the above measures, and that they will
mutually support one another in resisting any special measures aimed |
at one of their number by the covenant-breaking State, and that they
will take the necessary steps to afford passage through territory to the
forces of any Members of the League which are co-operating to protect
the covenants of the League.”

3.

|

It is not perhaps generally known that the onus of deciding whether
an act of aggression or incident is to be construed as “as act of war” within
the meaning of the covenants is left with each individual member to de-
cide. A clause was drafted some years ago vesting the decision with the
Council but this has never been ratified by the League.

However, once a member has decided that some act or incident is an
“act of war" it has no alternative, under the covenants, but to proceed with

the measures outlined in Article 16. Otherwise,
Violated the

the of

onus interpretation of an

“act of war’ left upon each in-
dividual member, the importance of the general public being fully posted
on events as they

transpire, can readily be understood, as in the final

analysis, it is the people of each country involved who are in the position by
their influence, to decide what part their country shall play in the efforts
to avert a major catastrophe.

Gas Test Well

Great Activity Shown In Hudson Bay
Junction Territory

Amalgamated Oils Ltd. brought
in the fourth gas test well on the
Kakwa structure recently. The flow,
was encountered at 275 feet, the |
same level at which gas was found
in other wells, says a report from
Hudson Bay Junction.

The four holes have been drilled
largely with a view to securing
geological data on the structure,
which is very large. A test for oil
| somewhere in the Piewie hills is
now considered justified.

It was stated unoffic‘ally that the,
Senator Oil and Gas Development
Company, Ottawa, intended shipping
a rig to Hudson Bay Junction and
drilling for oil on the structure where |
the Trail Blazer Company put down
a hole last year. This structure is
near Hudson Bay Junction and quite
distinct from the Kakwa structure,
25 miles distant.

Construction of the new Cunard
White Star super liner Queen Mary
has been complicated by reason of
the fact that no two of her steel,
plates are exactly the same, accord-|
ing to reports from the shipyard at)
Clydebank. Most of the plates are
curved, and many of them are more
than 36 feet long, 6 feet wide and
more than an inch thick. Few are
really flat.

The joining of the plate so that
each rivet hole pairs exactly with
the corresponding hole is an intri-
cate problem, and more than 10,000,-
000 such pairs of holes must be made.
Each plate must overlap at least six
others adjoining it, creating a prob-
lem of arrangement that has requir-
ed the study of a large engineering
staff.

A large half-model of the ship has
been laid out on a loft floor at the

' shipyard, furnishing an accurate pic-

ture of the successive rows of plates)
and a laboratory for the study of
the details of construction which are
carried out on a larger scale on the)
ship itself—New York Times.

Husbands Left Alone During Holi-
day Will Be Looked After

A scheme is being mooted in Old
London to meet the needs of that un-
fortunate section of humanity—the
husbands whose better halves have
gone on ahead on their holidays, or
who are staying another fortnight
longer. Most husbands have this ex-
perience now and again. They fix up
meals somehow, make the bed just
before friend wife comes back, and
use up all the socks in the drawer
pending her return to darn them.

The idea is that a catering firm
will provide breakfast and evening
dinner, put it in the refrigerator
overnight, charging so much a week
for the service. Hubby just leaves
a note suggesting what he would
like and the thing is done. Thermos
containers will keep the food warm.
And what's more the company will
do the dish washing.

Another branch of the’ service is
valeting. Socks’are to be left in a
bag, collected, and returned next day,
washed and mended.

Perhaps wifey may not like this
idea. One of the greatest satisfac-
tions she gets out of her holiday is
the thought that hubby is putting up
with so much discomfort that he will
realize how much he depends upon
her and will appreciate her all the
more when she comes _ back.—St.
Thomas Times-Journal.

Land Has Disappeared

No Trace Can Be Found Of Property
In Esquimalt

H. Seller of San Francisco was sur-
prised recently to find a lot on which
he had been paying taxes for over
50 years had disappeared.

Seller went to Victoria, B.C., to
secure a title ot a piece of property
in Esquimalt, left to him by his
father. He visited the land registry
office and real estate operators both
there and in Esquimalt, but could
find no trace of the property.

His father came to the coast about
60 years ago, and, becoming inter-
ested in Victoria real estate, pur-
chased the land which he left to his
son on his death. The son was ad-
vised to hold the property as a dry-
dock was to be built at Esquimalt
which would increase its value. He
let the land go at a tax sale and
bought it back again.

The only explanation he can give
now is that the property must be
under water. It is said the matter
was settled by the payment by the
municipality of the amount paid for
the land by Sellers at the tax sale.

One of the greatest blasting opera-
tions in Scotland was successful re-
cently when a granite cliff 500 feet
high and stretching 400 feet across
the face of Ben Dhurnich, near Bon-
awe, was ‘demolished’ by gun-

Powder fumes and granite dust rose |
in a cloud 2,000 feet high. In that!
second there was crowning triumph |
for men who had planned for the |
last four years to destroy the cliff, |
and by the touch of a lever there}
had been gained for industry 1,000,-
000 tons of granite. The success of
the blasting, which cost $20,000 to}
carry out, means that 400 quarrymen |

Advice For Everyone

Doctor Says People With Colds
Should Be Isolated

If you have a cold, go home and
isolate yourself. This is the advice
of Dr. Gordon P, Jackson, M.O.H., of
Toronto, who remarks that people do
not consider colds with sufficient
seriousness. The common cold, he
points out, is responsible for greater
financial loss to business than any
other single disease.

“The common cold is highly com-
municable,” he says. “And the
change from the nice weather to the

| cold nights we now have, lowers the

average individual's resistance.”

SYNOPSIS

Nancy Nelson is a sub-deb, a gay,
irresponsible girl of nineteen, with no
care beyond the choice of her cos-
tume for her coming-out party. Sud-
denly, in the market crash, her in-
dulgent father loses all he had, and
his family is faced with the neces-
sity of a simpler method of living.
At this juncture a letter is received
from an eccentric relative in Color-
ado, who offers the girl a home on
what seems to be impossible condi-
tions.

After much consideration Cousin
Columbine's offer is accepted, and
Nancy and Jack arrive at Pine Ridge.

Nancy set out one afternoon to
climb to the top of a hill so as to
obtain a view of the surrounding
landscape and misses the path Aurora
Tubbs had told her to follow. A truck
comes along the road, driven by Mat-
thew Adams, and she asks him which
way to go. They ascend the hill,
look around, and then go on to
Cousin Columbine’s. There Mark
Adam tells Nancy that his brother
Luke has broken his leg, and that
Jack Nelson has been hired to help
out while Luke's leg gets better. With
Jack away, Nancy finds that she is
lonesome, and having no books to
read, the idea of starting a public
library at Pine Ridge seems a good
one, and Nance writes home to get
her parents to send all the books they
could spare and all they could induce
others to let them have.

Nance and Matthew Adam _ go
Christmas shopping in a neighboring
town. On their return to Pine Ridge,
Nance is amazed to see the Colum-
bine residence all lit up, and asks
Matthew if he knows why. He said:
Let’s go in and see. Then Nancy
learns that she is having her debut,
but in a different setting than had
been planned for her in Boston.

Nancy's parents and friends gave

their liberal support to her request)

for books, and a sizeable box arrived
in due course. Father Adam painted
a sign for the library, and the Adam
boys worked on the shelves for the

books and decorations to make the)

room look presentable.

Jack Nelson, Matthew Adam, and
Nance go to the prairie home of Mat-
thews’ uncle for the ride, and after
Nance and Jack leave for home, they
are caught in a blizzard.

Now Go On With The Story

CHAPTER XVII

The ride to Prairie Ranch had been|

a jolly one, and a new experience to}
“Uncle Tom and!

the young Nelsons,
Aunt Emily’ welcomed them warm-
ly, and even suggested that they stay
a day or two, so Mark would be able
to accompany them home; but Jack
demurred,

“With both Matt and Mark away,
Mr. Adam needs me,” he explained,
“and what's more, I think we'd bet-
ter start right back if we're to go
alone. Soon as Mark's better we'll be
glad of the chance to come and get
him; but really, I'd feel easier to go
back to-day.”

“He's right, Matthew,” commended
Uncle Tom, “It’s not quite fair for
me to steal two of your father’s sons
and his ‘hired man’ as well! And as
Jack says, it’s better for them to start
soon and take their time. Run up
and say a word to Mark, you two,

while Aunt Em gets you a good
lunch. You won't mind eating early
after the long ride.”

“I never saw my sister refuse food,
early or late, ride or no ride,” grinned
Jack as they went upstairs.

They were away by noon, regret-
ful not to stay longer with this hos-
pitable family, but glad to think they
would return so soon.

“These plains are such surprising
things,” said Nancy, when Prairie
Ranch and its big cottonwoods were
miles behind them. “From a distance
they look flat as a huge billiard table.
Who would believe that there are
mesas and hills out here?”

“I like the prairies better from a
distance,” confessed her _ brother.
“They’re so desolate and lonely when
you’re on ’em, Sis. Makes you feel
no bigger than a mosquito, and about
as important! It’s great to come out
here and see them; but give me the
mountains as a steady diet. I—”

The boy paused, brushing one hand
against his cheek.

“Queer, but I'd swear a snowflake
hit me! Why, there’s another!
Strange to see snow drift down this
way while the sun's still shining.”

‘I’ve seen that happen several
times this winter, but it never)
amounts to very much.” Nance peer-
ed curiously at the heavens. ‘Just
see that cloud, Jack! How fast it’s
moving. I bet that’s where your
snowflake came from.”

A worried wrinkle appeared be-
tween Jack’s eyes.

“Maybe Cousin Columbine
right, and we're in for a storm.”

Nancy laughed.

“Lost on the prairie in a blizzard
on the twenty-sixth of March! It
would be some story to tell the folks
back home!”

Jack said, his eyes

was

following the

That cloud is turning inky; and bliz-
zards on these plains are something |
awful, they come so suddenly. Mr.
Adam told me about a time—”

A gust of wind was on them be-
fore Jack finished speaking. Big
balls of tumbleweed scurried across |
the prairie; and clouds of dust ob- |
literated the road.

“Perhaps we'd better turn and go
back,”’ suggested Nancy, ducking her
head against the particles of dust.
“Cousin Columbine insisted we
mustn't start in any sort of storm,
you know, and—” (her voice rose in
alarm) “and it’s really snowing! It’s
beginning to snow hard!”

The boy leaned forward, scanning
a sky that grew darker with incre-
dible rapidity.

“How far back did we pass that
schoolhouse ?"’ His voice, Nance no-
ticed, was tense, unnatural. “I don’t
want to scare you, Sis, but this looks
bad to me. If we could reach the
school I'd take a chance at waiting
there until the worst is over. What
do you say?” s

“I say we keep right on to the first
ranch. That school was six or eight
miles back; and when we passed I
noticed particularly that the bus had
left. Perhaps they closed at noon
to-day.”

A stinging flurry of snow was on
them now, cutting across their faces
like a whip. For a moment it took
Jack’s breath away; then he replied: |
“] guess you're right. There was a}
ranch somewhere along here. I re-}
member seeing the gate and mail
box. Help me into this jacket, will
you? I don't want to stop the car.
Gosh! Nancy, we're headed straight
into the storm. That's it” (as she
struggled to get his arm into a
sleeve), “don’ bother about the other.
Get into your own coat quick — or
wrap it round you. Look at this
snow! The windshield’s covered al-
ready. I'll have to get out and wipe
it off.”

“Are there any side curtains in
this old car?” cried Nancy as_ they
started on after a short delay.

Jack shook his head as he bent
tensely above the wheel.

“Darned if I know; and you)
couldn't put ‘em on in this wind any-
way. Keep your eyes peeled for that |

| here.”

mail box, Nance. We mustn't miss

it. We—we can’t miss it.
understand ?”

Nance understood only too well.
There followed a mile or so when
neither spoke. Twice Jack got out
to wipe the glass, while his sister,
staring into the wind-swept space,
fought terror. Snow was descending
fast and furiously now. Indeed, as
they kept on doggedly it seemed in-
credible that this was the same bare
road they had traversed so short a
time before with friendly sunlight
dappling the plains on every side. It
might, thought Nancy, have been
snowing here for hours and hours.
Could it be possible that they were
off the road? Straining her eyes
into the drifting white, watching in
desperation for the wayside mail
box, visions of frozen cattle rose up
before her, and the girls heart
thudded.

At last Jack said, not looking at
his sister: “We've missed that ranch,
Nancy. It can’t have been as far as
this. What say we turn back now
and try to reach the schoolhouse?
The wind would be behind us any-
way; and as it is I can’t see four
feet ahead. It looks to me as if our
best chance was to—”

The words were silenced by a cry
from Nancy, a cry of warning that
came too late. Jack jammed on the
brakes so suddenly that his sister
was thrown forward against the
windshield just as the car collided
with the engine of a big school bus,
which stood, its back wheels resting
in a snow-filled gully as it extended
crazily across the road.

CHAPTER XVIII.

As Nancy righted herself again,
her eyes met Jack's, a glance of|
stark despair passing between them.

“I'm afraid that crash has finished
this old car,” he told her; then add-
ed: “Why, Nance, I think that bus
is full of children!” .

“Hi, there!’ came a voice almost
at his elbow. “Had a smash up,
didn’t you? Did you meet Clem?”

Jack turned to see a boy of per-|
haps eleven, standing amid _ the
swirling snow.

“Skip back into that bus, kid,” he|
shouted, “we're coming too.”

He was already out, stretching a
helping hand to Nancy, and together |
they fought their way to the door
of the stalled bus, the youngster call-|
ing over his shoulder: ‘Watch where
you go there! Don’t step into that
deep rut, Miss—you gotter jump it.”
Then as the door flew open to admit!
them and Nancy, exhausted, sank)
into the nearest seat, he continued
with a captivating grin: “We got)
company, kids. These folks is chang-
ing cars at this station. Say” (turn-
ing to Jack), “did Clem Johnson send
you after us?”

Jack shook his head, and glancing
about the bus, inquired. “Is he your)
driver?” }

“Just for to-day. Our regular
driver’s sick,” explained the _ boy.|
“Came down with an awful pain
when he was sweepin’ out the bus
this morning, and his wife got Clem
to drive us. Teacher closed school |
early because there’s some sort of |
convention in Denver to-morrow, and
she wanted to take a train this|
afternoon. The storm came awful!
sudden, after we left; and when we
got this far Clem said we'd better
get back to Bartlett’s ranch fast as
we could. ‘Tisn’t more’n a few miles
east of us; but when he tried to turn, |
the wheels went into that gully and)
somethin’ broke. Clem worked for a}
long time and couldn't fix it.” |

“So he went for help?”

“That’s it. He thought he'd get)
there easy; but the wind got some-|
thin’ fierce after he left. We told)
him not to go, but he said we'd)
freeze to death out here and 'twas
up to him to get us somewhere safe. |
He’s been gone a terrible long time
though. Say, what's your name?”

“Jack Nelson; and this is my sis-
ter Nancy. What's yours?”

“Tom Osgood. I’m the oldest fel-
ler here; but two of the girls are
older’n me. What do you s'pose be-
came of Clem? He ought to be

At the front of the bus two chil-
dren began to cry; and looking about |
at all those helpless youngsters,
Nancy forgot herself. There must
be fifteen of them; and two lovely)
little girls, obviously twins of seven

or eight, wore only sweaters over
summer dresses. How cold _ they |
must be! j

“Look here,” she said, rising to |

speak quietly, “these poor kiddies are
getting frightened. We must divert
them, Jack—play games of some
sort—keep them moving as much as|
possible in this crowded place. Why,
I’m cold already even with this coat,
and not one of those children is
dressed as warmly! Let's start romp-
ing soon as‘I put my sweater on one
of those little girls.”

This worked for a time, and the|
smallest children, not realizing their |
plight, laughed with delight at the
games Nancy invented, The older

as time passed, trying to peer out
of the snow-covered windows, and
speaking together in low voices.

At last Jack and Tom Osgood
started some wrestling matches at
the rear of the bus; while the older
girls roused themselves in an effort
to keep the others occupied. They
danced, jumped up and down, and
did gymnastics; but despite this ex-
ercise they were growing colder every
minute, and when during some
roughhouse, a small boy's elbow went
through a pane of glass, a cry of dis-
may arose from one and all.

It was then that Tom Osgood had
an inspiration, Stored under the
back seat and carried for just such
emergencies, were canned food and
& small, portable stove.

“T'll say we were pretty dumb not
to think of 'em before,” he observed |
disgustedly, “but we've never had a!
chance to use 'em, and I guess every
one forgot.” He had been rummag-
ing about on his hands and knees,
and now stood up, a bewildered ex-
pression on his manly little face. !
“Why they're not here! Not any-
where! We've always carried ‘em,
and extra blankets too. Say! I bet |
I know what happened. Joe took
’em out when he cleaned the bus this
morning, and forgot to put ’em back!
when he had that pain. He always
sets 'em in the harness closet out o’|
the dust; and maybe Clem s’posed;
tity was right here, or p’raps he
didn't know they'd ought to be here.
Gee! I'm hungry, and some o’ that
canned soup would have tasted good.”

There followed another fruitless
search, the children watching with
strained, unchildlike faces.

“Don't cry, kiddie,” said Jack, as a
small girl burst into frightened |
tears. “I'm going to make a stove
out of this milk can. We'll soon be
opening windows to cool off!

Nance forced a smile at her
brother’s attempt at cheer, and lift-
ing the crying child onto her lap,
wrapped her coat about the small,
cold legs. The bus was shaking with
each gust of wind, and though every
window was thick with frost, she
knew the storm had increased in|
fury.

A Rare Instrument

Mathematical Rod Invented In The
Year 1617

One sees queer things in the ad-
vertisement columns of the London
newspapers as being for sale. Some
of these are simple, some are mysti-
fying. In the later category most
people placed an item which appear-
ed the other day. The advertiser an-
nounced that he wanted to sell a set
of “Napier’s Bones.”’

No doubt to the mind's eye of the
majority of folk who read it there
appeared a vision of a wired skeleton
such as anatomical museums and
medical textbooks show. Or the re-
mains of some famous Napier or
other
something like those of Jeremy Ben-
tham, now in a great London hos-
pital. But only the mathematicians
(and not all of them) might be ex-
pected to know anything of Napier
and his bones.

The bones are a set of small rods
inscribed with figures. By means of
these things multiplication, division

| and all sorts of mathematical gym-

nastics may be performed by the ini-
tiate. The method of using them was
invented, and explained in a treatise,
by John Napier, of Edinburgh, in the
year 1617, and they came to be
known as “Napier’s Bones.”

Very few sets are known to be in
existence.—Vancouver Province.

International Tourist Bureau

Plan To Link Up Two Provinces And
Two States

A proposal to link sections of two
provinces and two states
organization publicizing tourist at-
tractions of the areas was made by
G. F. C. Pousette, head of the Winni-
peg Tourist and Convention Bureau.

Following Pousette’s suggestions
before a meeting of civic envoys at
Detroit Lakes, Minn., a committee
was appointed to investigate the plan
that would organize northwestern
Ontario, Manitoba, eastern North
Dakota and northern Minnesota.

The territory would be designated
as the “circle tour” and would ex-
tend from Winnipeg to Kenora, Ont.,
to Fort Frances, Ont., through north-
eastern Minnesota to Detroit Lakes,
Alexandria, the Twin Cities, Fargo,
N.D., and then north to Grand Forks,
Crookston, and back to Winnipeg.

Little Helps For This Week

And when ye stand praying, for-
give if ye have aught against any,
that your Father which is in heaven
may forgive you your trespasses,
But if ye do not forgive, neither will
your Father which is in heaven for-
give your trespasses. Mark 11:25-26,

'Tis not enough to mourn your

sins,
"Tis but one step to heaven;
When you are kind to others—
then
You know yourself forgiven.

There is nothing to do with your
fellow men but to love them, to con-
template their virtues with admira-
tion, their faults with pity and for-
bearance, and their injuries with
forgiveness. To hate your adversary
will not help you; nothing within the
compass of the universe will help
you, but to love him. How many a
solitary place would be made glad if
love were there, how many a dark
dwelling would be full of light.

Viewpoint Of Youth

Ontario Boys Suggested Relief Board
Might Purchase Rugby Balls

The rugby season is with us.

In a recent week some boys at an
Ontario high school wanted to prac-
tise the great autumn sport. Last
year's rugby balls had disappeared.
The school board had decided to re-
trench and not purchase any new
ones out of public funds. Some new
ones were being provided out of the
students’ own athletic funds but they
were not available.

What happened ?

A group of boys approached the
athletic teacher to ask if a ball or
two might not be secured from re-
lief funds.

The rest of this column could
doubtless be filled amplifying this
little sidelight on a young Canadian
viewpoint about the Dominion's big-
gest single business. Suffice to reflect
how deeply its roots are sinking,
when fifteen-year-old Canadian lads
think relief rols are synonymous with
rugby balls.—Financial Post.

This speed was attained by Hughes
in a series of tests near Santa Ana,
Calif., in his 14-cylinder, 1,000 horse-
power monoplane.
| The present record of 314.319 miles
